GRAFFITI

If you find graffiti on your property, you should remove it
immediately. By doing so, you will discourage further graffiti.
Graffiti vandals want to gain recognition for their work and once they
realize that their graffiti will be removed quickly from a location,
they will ultimately be deterred from striking there again.

Reporting Graffiti in Progress

If you see graffiti vandalism in progress, call 858-565-5200 and
report it immediately to the Sheriff’s Department. Do not confront the
vandals. Although they may appear to be harmless, they may be carrying
weapons. A Deputy will respond based on the priority of the crime
compared to others for which they have calls at the time.
